Background: Integron, ISCR1 and complex class 1 integrons lead bacteria to become
resistant to antibiotic regimens. The aim of this study was to detect common mobile genetic …

The class 1 integron and complex gene cassettes among different species of clinical isolates
in northern China were characterized in this study. 383 clinical isolates were obtained from …

Integrons are mobile genetic elements able to capture, express and excise resistance
genes, playing an important role in the spread of bacterial resistance. The present study was …

The integrons and insertion sequence common region 1 (ISCR1) of 329 carbapenem-non-
susceptible Gram-negative bacilli, excluding 60 Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strains, in …

Background The emergence of highly drug-resistant K. pneumoniae, has become a major
public health challenge. In this work, we aim to investigate the diversity of species and …

Non-duplicate multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (n= 1447) isolated from January
2008 to December 2009 were investigated for the presence of integrons as well as …

Objective To explore the correlations of integrons, gene cassettes and drug resistance
phenotypes in 90 multi-drug resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Methods Class I/II/III integron …

Rapid dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes among bacterial isolates is an increasing
problem in China. Integron, a conserved DNA sequence, which is carried on episomal …

Integrons are mobile genetic elements able to capture, express and excise resistance
genes, playing an important role in the spread of bacterial resistance. The present study was …

Recent studies have shown that integrons play a major role in spreading antibiotic
resistance genes in clinical settings, as antibiotic resistance genes are frequently found …
